Diabetes data of Section 7.3
These data consist of observations on 442 patients, with the response
of interest being a quantitative measure of disease progression one
year after baseline: prog
There are ten baseline variables---age, sex, body-mass index, average blood pressure,
and six blood serum measurements.
First used in LARS paper
Please note: in table 7.2, we standardized the centered predictor
variables to be unit L2 norm. In table 20.1 we standardized to be
unit variance. The unit norm standardization was inherited from our
work on LARS, where Euclidean geometry played a role.
